Gluzov Flying

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

It had already been a very profitable day for Kamen Gluzov but it got better after he eliminated another player just now.

All the chips went in preflop with Gluzov holding {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, which was a long way ahead of his opponent's {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}. With no ten or combo draw on the {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} board, Gluzov added another 25,000 or so to his stack.

Kebe Brings Some Back

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jimmy Kebe got off to a strong start but lost some chips in subsequent levels. He is heading back in the right direction though, after check-raising the flop in a three-handed pot. Jen Mason was playing the small blind and Kebe was in the big, with another player on the cutoff, who bet 3,500 into the pot. Mason folded but Kebe upped the price to 10,500 and it was good to take the chips.

Kassa Flips

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Getnet Kassa opened the action to 2,000 in middle position and got two calls from late position before the player in the small blind raised to 8,000 in the small blind. Kassa announced his all in and the two callers passed, before the three-better called the rest.

They were off to the races, with Kassa holding a pair of {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} against his opponent's {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} runout favored the pair and Kassa doubled.

Bester has the Best of it

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

"It was a good time to find jacks" said Graeme Bester as he collected the chips he'd won in a three-way all in. "Good time to squeeze," added a fellow player at his table.

It certainly worked out well for Bester who had three-bet all in for 23,000 over an open and two flat calls. The initial raiser folded but the cutoff player called for 11,000 and Justin Bateson decided he wanted to play too, calling from the button.

Graeme Bester: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Justin Bateson: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

It was a low {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} board, in the end, which secured Bester an (almost) triple up.

Mason Leading After Huge Clash with Sciesel

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Jen Mason is top of the counts after a huge clash with Katarzyna Scisel. Thanks to Mason for relaying the details of the hand.

It began with three limps in front and Scisel made up the difference from the small blind before Mason checked her option in the big.

The flop fell {7-}{8-}{10-} and Scisel led for 4,500. Mason upped it to 14,000 and everyone else got out of the way before Scisel raised all in for 55,000. It was a snap-call from Mason and and she turned over {9-}{6-} for the straight and was in very good shape against Scisel's two pair with {10-}{7-}. There was no ten or seven on the last two streets and Mason is the first player to reach a six-figure stack.
